Introduction

Moving an IT infrastructure is a serious undertaking, and requires months of
planning and preparation. I'm the IT manager for a large accounting firm in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and we've just completed a successful office move.
Over the next several weeks, I'll present a series of articles on efficient

find these articles insightful, even if you're just moving or redesigning
your existing computer room. I only wish that a resource like this was available
to me when I began planning for our company's move.
